"A horse, a horse!  My kingdom for a horse!"  by William Shakespeare

The Saddle Pals have returned to health and are ready for new loving homes.  Some of the horses are trained English and some western.    Most of the time, HPS has horses that would be suitable for a child's first horse.  No horse can teach a child to ride and it is important to have an adult that can work with the child or he/she take riding lessons. 

The horses have spent their time lounging in the fields during recovery and will need reconditioning for muscle building. 

We seldom have a horse that will safely be able to carry a rider weighing over 165 pounds.  Each generation people are getting larger…… but horses are not.
